Conhecimento dos estudantes de enfermagem em lesão por pressão: atualizando saberes e ressignificando a prática

Abstract

Pressure injuries are caused by several factors related to hospitalization and the clinical condition of patients, and require comprehensive assistance by the entire health team, in actions aimed at multidisciplinarity for harm-free assistance, since this health problem it is potentially preventable. National and international guidelines present recommendations for the prevention and treatment of these injuries, with a view to making the quality of care a positive indicator. In detriment to this approach, this study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of nursing students about Pressure Injury, using two methodologies: Application of the Knowledge Test – TCLP Caliri-Piper; and the Structured Objective Clinical Examination Tool – OSCE, in two modalities: Virtual OSCE and OSCE in real scene. This is a cross-sectional exploratory study with a broad scope, with a quantitative approach, carried out between August and November 2019, applied to nursing students in Supervised Curricular Internship, in a public hospital in the city of Maceió, Alagoas. Each Applied method flowed into a scientific production, connected to each other, the results of which are presented in this dissertation in four scientific articles. This study also generated two educational products: a Pressure Injury Intervention Seminar and a book entitled “Uncomplicating the Pressure Injury approach: a guide to good practice”.
